Buyer Beware: Don’t Choose This Product in CNY Stores

Our family is like any other family in Central New York or beyond. We have a budget. We try to cut corners where we can. We look for deals. And sometimes we buy products because they're more affordable. Usually it works out; sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot.

This was a case of the latter. We decided to try a budget brand of garbage bags for our plastic kitchen trash can. As I was removing a bag from our kitchen trash to take it out to the dumpster, it split, dumping coffee grounds and refuse all over the kitchen floor. In fact, every single bag in the box came apart at the seams.

To ensure you don't make the same mistake, we'll share the full image and unveil the product now:

Simply Done Drawstring Tall Kitchen Garbage Bags. No good.
